Private Ned Bayol of the 5th Alabama Infantry was wounded at Turner’s Gap on South Mountain in September 1862 and again at Chancellorsville in May 1863, disabled for further field service. This photograph of him in full field gear was probably taken about the time he enlisted in August 1861, and was contributed to his memorial by Findagrave user Kricket.

The picture of Phelan at left, First Lieutenant’s bars on his collar, was taken in 1861. He’s in a Captain’s uniform on the right, in a photograph taken sometime between his promotion in October 1862 and his death at Petersburg in 1865; he looks older by more than just a couple of years, perhaps because he had a hard war. Both photographs are from the Alabama Department of Archives and History.

Watkins Phelan was First Lieutenant and commanded Company F of the 3rd Alabama Infantry in action at Turner’s Gap on South Mountain on 14 September 1862.

Andrew N. Erskine operated a stage post and inn at Seguin as well as a gristmill, sawmill and ferry on the Guadalupe River, in a part of Guadalupe County, TX still known today as Erskine Ferry. He was also County Clerk and a militia Lieutenant when the war began, and he and brother Alexander almost immediately enlisted in Company D, 4th Texas Infantry. He was killed instantly by a gunshot through his temple at Sharpsburg on 17 September 1862.

This watercolor of the ferry on the road to San Antonio was painted by Sarah Ann Lillie Hardinge in 1853, the year after Erskine took it over from his father-in-law. It’s in the Amon Carter Museum of American Art in Fort Worth, TX.

He was their Captain when his right arm was mangled in action at Chancellorsville in May 1863.

This is Thomas Jefferson Carver, Jr who enlisted in April 1861, age 18, as a Private in the 3rd Alabama Infantry.

He was seriously wounded at Turner’s Gap on the 14th and later had commissioned service. This photograph of him in a Lieutenant’s uniform was contributed to Findagrave by Charles B Moore (?).
